Various embodiment of the present invention is provided for measuring the system and method for the distance of object, and can be used for confirming shape, geometric configuration or the profile of this object then to this distance of this object.System and method provides the indication of the accuracy of the range observation that reflection can obtain from one or more images of the object of being caught by the filming apparatus of specific location.Based on this indication,, can before catching one or more images, settle filming apparatus to realize the accuracy of the expectation of range observation again like expectation.
Fig. 1 provides the functional block diagram of the system 10 of the distance 12 that is used to measure object 14 according to an embodiment of the invention.This system 10 comprises the filming apparatus 16 that is operatively coupled to controller 18 substantially.Use like this paper, term " filming apparatus " comprises any device that can catch one or more images of object, numeral for example known in the art or simulation filming apparatus.For example, as illustrated in fig. 1, filming apparatus 16 can comprise aperture 20, alternately cover or expose the collapsible shutter 22 of this aperture 20, the lamp 26 that is used to collect the lens 24 of light and is used for illuminating objects 14.In order to catch image, shutter 22 exposes aperture 20, and lens 24 will focus on the recording medium 28 through the light of aperture 20.
As described herein, the technique effect of controller 18 is based on the one or more accuracy signals 36 that generate in the signal 30,32,34 that is generated by filming apparatus 16.Controller 18 can comprise individual components or subassembly, and it is included in any computer system known in the art, for example portable computer, personal computer, microcomputer or mainframe computer.Various controllers 18 and computer system that this paper discusses are not limited to any specific hardware framework or configuration.The embodiment of the system and method that this paper sets forth can realize providing the functional of expectation by the one or more general or controller of automatic measurement of reorganization in any suitable manner.For example, controller 18 can be adapted and become to provide the additional functionality complementary or irrelevant with this purport.When using software, the language of any suitable programming, script or other types or the combination of language can be used for the instruction that realizes that this paper comprises.Yet this paper sets forth and discloseder system and methods also can realize that it includes but not limited to special circuit by hardwired logic or other circuit.Certainly, the software of computing machine execution or the various combinations of hardwired logic or other circuit also can be fit to.
As illustrated in fig. 1; Controller 18 is based on the one or more accuracy signals 36 that generate in the signal 30,32,34, wherein the expectation accuracy of the accuracy signal 36 reflections range observation that can obtain from one or more images of the object 14 of being caught by the filming apparatus 16 of position.The indicator that is operatively coupled to controller 18 receives accuracy signal 36 and the indication that reflects accuracy signal 36 is provided.This indication can comprise, for example, for example numeral or simulation drawing target Visual Display 38, it is included in accuracy signal 36 is transported in operator's the view finder 40.Alternatively, or in addition, this indication can comprise loudspeaker, and it produces audio frequency indication or the sound 42 that similarly accuracy signal 36 is transported to the operator.
Fig. 2 provides the process flow diagram or the algorithm of the method for the distance that is used to measure object 14 according to an embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 3-6 provides the various Visual Display 38 of object 14 with 3-D view this method to be described.At frame 50, the operator is placed in the position with respect to object 14 with filming apparatus 16.At frame 52, various being arranged on set up in the filming apparatus 16 to improve the Video Capture at this position object 14 automatically or manually.For example, the working specification or the programming that are included in the routine in the filming apparatus 16 can be used for setting up automatically various settings, available various other optics settings in the for example brightness of lamp 26, open the door 22 speed, focusing, gain and the filming apparatus 16.Alternatively, or in addition, as expecting that the operator can manually set up or rewrite any setting in being provided with.At frame 54, filming apparatus 16 is confirmed to be provided with and controller 18 is generated one or more signals that reflection is provided with.For example, like previous description, filming apparatus 16 can generate light signal 30, exposure signal 32 and/or gain signals 34 to controller 18.
At rhombus 56 places, controller 18 is with one or more signals 30,32,34 and one or more preset limit comparison and generate the signal 36 of the expectation accuracy of the range observation that reflection can obtain from one or more images of the object 14 of being caught by the filming apparatus 16 of position.At frame 58, thereby signal 36 generates the indication (for example, the vision or the sense of hearing) of reflected signal 36 and reflection expectation accuracy.For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the low relatively expectation accuracy of any range observation that vision 38 reflections in the view finder 40 obtain from one or more images of the object 14 of being caught by the filming apparatus 16 of position.Therefore, the operator can be through filming apparatus 16 be relocated to new position at frame 50 start method from the beginning to the end, as by 60 indications of the line among Fig. 2.By contrast, the high relatively expectation accuracy of any range observation of obtaining from one or more images of the object 14 of catching of the Visual Display in the view finder shown in Fig. 5 40 38 reflection by the filming apparatus 16 of position.Therefore, the operator can continue other image capturing and calculate the distance of object 14.
At frame 62, system 10 catches one or more images of object 14, and at frame 64, system 10 uses the image of catching to confirm or calculate one or more distances of object 14.For example, system 10 can use the one or more technology that are called triangulation, measurement in space and/or 3-D photography many-sidedly, but the particular measurement technology is not restriction of the present invention, enumerates only if in claim, have specifically.Fig. 4 provides the exemplary 3-D view 66 that is based on the object 14 of the condition generation of describing among Fig. 3 by system 10.As shown in Fig. 4, be inaccurate relatively to the calculated distance of object 14, thereby produce corresponding inaccurate 3-D view 66 that it comprises the mark of profile on the surface of a large amount of noises and other inaccurate measurements or object 14.By contrast, Fig. 6 provides the exemplary 3-D view 66 that is based on the object 14 of the condition generation of describing among Fig. 5 by system 10.As shown in fig. 6, be relatively accurate to the calculated distance of object 14, thereby produce corresponding 3-D view accurately 66 that it is more closely near profile of object 14.Therefore; Various system and method for the present invention offered the indication of the expectation accuracy of operator's range observation before the operator proceeds consuming time and image capturing that maybe be expensive and distance calculation process, thereby the permission operator settles again or adjusts filming apparatus 16 and realize the accuracy expected.
This written explanation usage example is with open the present invention, and it comprises optimal mode, and makes that any technician can put into practice the present invention in this area, comprises making and use any method that comprises of any device or system and execution.Claim of the present invention is defined by the claims, and can comprise other examples that those skilled in that art expect.If they comprise not the written language various structure element with claim other examples like this, if perhaps they comprise that written language with claim does not have other equivalent structure element of solid area then is defined in the scope of claim.
